Time is slipping away from me
Today
Like the sand in my hand
The water from a broken dam
Tears of grief
I can't hold on to it
No matter how hard I try
It's slipping like an ice cube
An oiled burglar
A slurpy noodle
A skier gone astray
A foot on a banana peel
A fish out of water
A ghost through the door
Time is slipping away from me
Today
And I don't know
What to do
I'm pushing on the brake pedals
And searching for a pause button
But time is
Slipping away
From me
Today.

Yes, slippery time, Mansi, and all the while missing the richness of the moment while reaching forward. I think we all need a pause button, mine in meditation. Thanks for sharing.
I know this feeling. Pause buttons are everywhere if you know what to look for - an alone moment at the beach, a cuddle, a long conversation, fall out of your chair laughter, a good book...
As time slips away...I am learning to enjoy with JOY every hour, minute...every second. More and more.
I had to come over to see WHO is following me--and it is YOU! thank you, and I'll be BACH (punch-line in a musical joke)
PEACE
Hope you are doing OK. I'll go back and learn more about you.
